The following is an excerpt from Commissioner Sally McGinnis' Report
at the October 9,2006 Regular City Commission Meeting:
Commissioner McGinnis asked when the next Swearing-In Ceremony
would take place after the November Election. City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces
read from the Charter and stated that Terms of Office begin "The first
Monday after the first day of December of each year an election is held. "
Mayor Bush pointed out that that date would be December lh, 2006.
With discussion, Mayor Bush noted, "So it will be on December lh, time
will be determined after the Election. "
Therefore, the date for the first day in office and any Inauguration
Ceremony for the newly elected Mayor, Commissioner - District Two, and
Commissioner - District Four will be held on Monday, December 4,2006.
(A Regular City Commission Meeting is not scheduled on this date.)
As no specific time for the Inauguration Ceremonies is stipulated in the
Charter, and the City Commission did not agree upon a certain time during
the above referenced discussion held on October 9, 2006, the City
Commission is being requested to decide upon a time for this event.
The City Commission may wish to take into consideration the preferences
of any individual(s) that are (Re-)Elected and/or who currently do not
serve on the City Commission. (Note: As this Agenda Item was
submitted prior to the outcome of the November 7, 2006 Municipal
Election, the individuals Elected on November 7, 2006 will be informed of
this Agenda Item and invited to attend the November 13, 2006 City
Commission Meeting, to provide any input, if requested by the City
Commission).
As in years past, some of the proposed details of the upcoming
Inauguration Ceremonies will include: Invitations for guests of the three
(3) Elected individuals; Commemorative Programs; a Swearing-in
Ceremony; Photographs; other miscellaneous items; and a Reception to be
held in the lobby of City Hall following the Swearing-in Ceremony. The
